Essence of time,

12:46 I alighted from the MRT and took my own sweet time to walk to Vivocity.
13:00 No call, no message. I feel hungry.
13:05 I texted S telling him I've reached and ask where is he. (He said he will call me when he's there)
13:10 No reply. I walked pass Page One and thought, "hah, I shall go in, never been here for ages"
13:23 No reply. I was browsing Chic-lit when I saw the person standing opposite me looks alot like Xavier.
13:28 No reply. I was thinking if I should go over to say Hi, thinking he will ask, what are you doing here, and it will be weird to reply I'm being stood up for the first date after the break-up.
13:32 No reply. Okay that person is not Xavier, just very look-alike. Like his twin or something.
13:35 No reply. I decided to text my two girlfriends. "Woo hoo! I'm being stood up for an hour and still counting. Big guess is that he overslept"
13:36 No reply. I thought I will walk out of Vivocity if he's not here by 13:45.
13:40 Got a call from the-late-guy, panting and mumbling how sorry he is, and asked me to wait for him, will be there by 14:00
13:43 Text from S "Something cropped up sorry to make you wait, pls forgive. Reading any books? Are you hungry?" HA-HA. I told Shona I will probably have fainted by the time he got here.
14:00 I guessed I forgot what I was thinking at 13:36. Page One is getting colder by the minute, and I'm realllllyyyy hungry! Still not here yet.
14:08 My phone finally rings, "Where are you? I'm in Page One now."
